A figured and patterned casing of a host computer is provided to increase the consumer&#39;s purchase options and further achieve the objective of promoting the industrial development and enhancing the merchandise sales volume; the present invention is mainly applied to a casing of a personal digital assistant (PDA), a desktop personal computer host unit, a notebook computer and a displayer for having an unique, attractive and extraordinary external style. In addition, through detachable casings with different figures and patterns, the consumer is capable of self-assembling the casing thereby increasing the variation and pleasure in application.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1) Field of the Invention

[0002] The present invention relates to a figured and patterned casingof a host computer, more especially to using the figure and pattern on ahost computer to increase the consumer's purchase options as well as thevariation and pleasure in application so as to further achieve theobjective of promoting the industrial development and enhancing themerchandise sales volume.

[0003] 2) Description of the Prior Art

[0004] Accordingly, in the technological era, the products such as adesktop personal computer host unit, a notebook computer, a personaldigital assistant (PDA), a displayer, etc, have been used extensively;wherein, most of the casings are made of metal material; the designs ofthose products focus on extraordinary styles and outstanding colorschanged from grey and black colors to the current multiple bright colorsto satisfy the public consumer's demands.

[0005] The casings of the desktop host computer, the notebook computer,the PDA and the displayer mainly utilize the metal material with certainhardness to protect the internal sophisticated members from accidentalsqueeze or pressure. However, 110 matter which kind of metal is used,after being pressed into molds, it has to be painted through spraying orstoving finish to cover the original color of the metal and to matchwith the color of the front panel for increasing the pleasantness of theentire body.

[0006] Although the abovementioned metal casings of the various productshave different colors for the consumers to select, the colors are allmonochromic. In order to satisfy the consumers' increasing demands,casings with variety of figures or patterns should tremendously providemore options for the consumers and further achieve the objective ofpromoting the industrial development and enhancing the sales volume ofthe merchandise.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0007] In view of the casings of the conventional personal computer,notebook computer, personal digital assistant (PDA) and displayer withonly monochromic colors for the consumers to select and being unable tosatisfy the vast consumers' demands, the inventor of the presentinvention has finally and successfully researched and developed thepresent invention of a figured and patterned host computer casing, aftercontinuous study and experiment as well as basing on years of practicalexperience in researching, designing and manufacturing the relatedproducts, so as to increase the consumers' option and achieve theobjective of promoting the industrial development and enhancing thesales volume of the merchandise.

[0008] Specifically, the present invention of a figured and patternedcasing of a host computer is mainly applied to products such as the PDA,the desktop personal computer host unit, the notebook computer and thedisplayer by utilizing figured or patterned panel bodies to mold metalcasings for the PDA, the desktop personal computer host unit and thedisplayer thereby making the external styles of those molded casingsunique, attractive and extraordinary.

[0009] The primary objective of the present invention is to increase theconsumers' purchasing options and further achieve the objective ofpromoting the industrial development and enhancing the sales volume ofthe merchandise through the figured and patterned casings of hostcomputers.

[0010] Another objective of the present invention is to provide theconsumer with the self-assembling casings with different figures andpatterns to assemble for replacing the current casing of a host computerso as to increase the variation and pleasure in application.

[0011] To enable a further understanding of the structural features andthe technical contents of the present invention, the brief descriptionof the drawings below is followed by the detailed description of thepreferred embodiment.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0012]FIG. 1 is a schematic drawing of implementing the presentinvention onto a personal digital assistant.

[0013]FIG. 2 is a schematic drawing of implementing the presentinvention onto a casing of a host computer.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0014] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the present invention is mainlyapplied to a personal digital assistant (PDA) (10), a desktop personalcomputer host unit (20) and a notebook computer by using a figured andpatterned panel body to mold the metal casings (11, 21) of the productssuch as the PDA (10) and the desktop personal computer host unit (20) soas to have an unique, attractive and extraordinary external style.

[0015] The figures and patterns on the host computer casings (11, 21)are made by mainly covering a layer of Figured and patterned polyvinylchloride (PVC) film on a metal panel and then tightly affixing the PVCfilm onto the metal panel through heating at a high temperature so as tomold the metal casings (11, 21) for the products such as the PDA (10),desktop personal computer host unit (20) and the notebook computer. Ofcourse, another possible way is to first mold the casings (11, 21) witha metal panel without any figure and pattern, then form the figures andpatterns on the molded casings (11, 21) through spraying paint orstoving finish to show the beautiful appearance of the entire bodythereby not only increasing the consumer's purchasing options, but alsoachieving the objective of promoting the industrial development andenhancing the sales volume of the merchandize.

[0016] What worth mentioning is that the figured and patterned hostcomputer casings (11, 21) can be assembled by the consumer. Through thedetachment and replacement of current host computer casings (11, 21),the variation of the casings (11, 21) increases the consumers' pleasurein application.

[0017] In summation of the abovementioned, the present invention notonly uses the figures and patterns on the host computer casing toincrease the consumer's purchasing options thereby achieving theobjective of promoting the industrial development and enhancing thesales volume of the merchandise, but also uses the detachable casing toreplace casings with different figures and patterns so as to increasethe variation and pleasure in application.

[0018] It is of course to be understood that the embodiment describedherein is merely illustrative of the principles of the invention andthat a wide variety of modifications thereto may be effected by personsskilled in the art without departing firm the spirit and scope of theinvention as set forth in the following claims.

1. A figured and patterned casing of a host computer mainly providesfigures and patterns for the casings of the products such as a personaldigital assistant, a desktop personal computer host unit, a notebookcomputer and a displayer; the casing mainly comprises a metal panelcovered by a layer of figured and patterned polyvinyl chloride (PVC)film affixed tightly onto the metal panel at a high temperature formolding.
 2. A figured and patterned casing of a host computer accordingto claim 1, wherein the figures and patterns are tightly affixed to themetal panel through a PVC film and then unitarily molded onto the hostcomputer casing.
